      Taillight Relay Taillight relay ON/OFF -

      OK: 

      Taillight relay operates. (Taillights illuminate.) 

    OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  

    NG: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT FUSE (TAIL) 
    1. Remove the TAIL fuse from the instrument panel J/B assembly.
    2. Measure the resistance of the fuse.

      Standard resistance: 

      Below 1 Ω 

    NG: REPLACE FUSE 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT TAILLIGHT RELAY 
    1. Remove the taillight relay from the instrument panel J/B assembly.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE REFERENCE

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      3 - 5 10 kΩ or higher
      Below 1 Ω (When battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2)
      3 - 4 Below 1 Ω
      10 kΩ or higher (When battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2)

    NG: REPLACE TAILLIGHT RELAY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. INSPECT INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY 
    1. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage

    OK: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY - BODY GROUND) 

    NG: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY - INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the IA instrument panel J/B assembly connector.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage
